	Wow. Really beautiful example of his work. I wonder if he did the stock work?

Pope was never a stock maker, and his own guns showed that. He concentrated all his expertise on making fine barrels. early on he made other accessories, but later dropped almost all, and other than barrels he only offered molds to go with the barrels.

	That lever and extreme styled buttstock with a H.M Pope screams Jos. Singer. You may have a more rare rifle than you think.

	Didn't Singer usually stamp his levers and butt plates (and maybe his stocks)? Bill Lawrence

	does any body know where the machine that done the matting is? it was known by a friend of mine about 15-20 years ago and had been damaged but believe it was repaired. it was in the new york area and the contact has since died. tony <><

Bill Lawrence Yes, his levers often, and his buttplates almost always on the top prong near where it meets the buttstock. As Vall said, yes he did. However the stamp was quite small and can easily be overlooked. I have seen one example where it is Joe rather than Jos. and the palm rest is marked also on this rifle. I also agree that it certainly looks like a Singer built rifle. It's very similar to one I have been fortunate enough to hold up to my shoulder a few times. If you look closely at the triggers they also look like ones built by Singer. JerryH

	One of our San Diego shooters/collectors who is quite knowledgeable was able to inspect it and seemed quite sure that the triggers and the fore stock with its unique checkering was by Bremmer. His assessment was that the buttstock was not by Bremmer. I would sure like to see a picture of the matting on the round section of the barrel if your able to post it Scharfe. I thought that was really a nice touch! Regards, Joe
